believed they had come across the escaped
prisoners, whom they were warned were
desperate men, As it turned out they
were instead a pair of unarmed innocent
men. One of them now lies in his grave;
the other lies desperately wounded in the
county hospital.
OF course it was all the result of a ter

that these men should not be punished
for killing a human being, Just because
there was no murderous intent2 So far
as poor Polling is concerned the result is
just the same as though the deed were

Education and Work.

Many persons believe that under the
present system of education young people
are acquiring a distaste for manual labor.
and that there is, consequently, danger
that the trade and agricultural occupa-
tons will be deserted by all but the most
inefficient classes of workmen. Much of
the experience of English and American
society is in favor of this view, and the
tendencies in France appear to be in the
same direction. AS an offset as to what
may be said in favor of it, The London
Spectator directs attention to the fact
that no dislike of work, even of the
toughest character, has appeared among
WE of the best educated races. The
Scotch, who have been taught for 200
years, and are now more thoroughly
trained than English national school boys,
show no disposition to avoid labor, but
are remarkable for persistent and fairly
contented industry. The Prussian peas
ants, "who are as educated as the Eng
lish will be twenty years hence, work ex-
ceedingly hard, and in the country, where
their holdings are their own, show none
of the resentment at their fate which is
manifested in the towns in the form of
socialist aspirations. Gardeners who all
over Great Britain are the best instructed
of manual laborers, work, more especially
when working for themselves, with UNI
usual diligence; and it is matter of con-
slant observation that a laborer who hap
pens by any accident to be a bit of a
scholar can be depended upon when
work presses and every man is required.
The people of Rome, who can read and
write, are far more diligent than the
Neapolitans, who cannot; and the best
workmen in Italy are those who have
passed through the army, and SO oh
tanned what is practically an education.
This seems to be no a priori reason why
it should be otherwise. Popular Sci
ence Monthly.

A Rothschild MS n BegEar.

In a book entitled the blouse of
Rothschild" it is related that Eugene
Delacroix, the famous painter, thinking
that the head of Baron James Rothschild
would make a splendid head for a beg
gar, asked the eminent financier to sit as
a model: Consent was granted. While
the artist was engaged on the canvas,
one of the pupils entered and told Della
croix that that was an ideal beggar.
When Delacroix was not looking, the
pupil, in a good hearted manner, put a
coin in Rothschild's hand, for which the
beggar nodded his thanks. Rothschild
ascertained that the young painter who
had been s. kind had much talent, but
very little money, and SO he wrote him
that the coin he had given him had borne
interest, and that if he called at the
Rothschild banking house he would re-
ceive 10000 francs. -Public Opinion.

One man, l well remember, whose left
hand was bandaged in rags, told how a
large, fine looking rebel officer charged
upon him with his saber pointed toward
his breast. The soldier raised his arm to
ward off the thrust, and the enemy's
sword went through the palm of his
hand; as they passed he raised his car
bine, and, turning in his saddle, shot the
retreating foe in the middle of the back
The rebel threw his arms up in the air,
and crying, "Oh, you Yankee son of a
gunl' rolled out of the saddle a dead
man What a gentle training that officer
must have had, who, in the heat of bat
tie, in his very death agonies, had moth
ing more vindiceive to say than You
Yankee son of a gun" No anathema,
no profane word, no vile expletive, but
only a phrase that he might have hurled
at a mischievous schoolboy.-Frank Bel

CLAY ALLISON, who is well known to
many people in thus city, died a few days
ago in Texas. He fell from a wagon and
the wheels passed over his neck, breaking
it. Allison had n well established repu-
tation for deftness in handling firearms,
and the facility with which he caused his
enemies to seek untimely graves. He
was a tall, dark-complexioned man, with
a sort of a devil-may-care swagge that
was not affected. He spent over a week
IN Cheyenne about a year ago, awaiting
the arrival of a shipment Of Texas cattle,
which he was to deliver at Rock creek.
On the evening that he left for the West
he was in the old Pacific house, feeling
slightly affected from the liquor which he
had drank. Among the other people
awaiting the arrival of the train was an
old Nevada ranchman, who is well known
here. He had been drinking heavily and
somehow got it into his head hat Allison
wanted to pick a quarrel with him. Under
this impression he bristled up to Allison
in a threatening manner and told him he
couldn't begin shooting too quickly. The
gentleman from Nevada held his hand on
a half cooked As Colts revolver and talked
straight from the shoulder. so to speak.
Allison fdgeted about nervously, but il
he had any weapon it could not be dis,
covered. He evidently didn't want a quar-
rel, although those who knew him were
sure that he was perfectly able to take
care of himself in case he entered one.
For a few moments things looked SC
squally that those who didn't have urgent
business in the house sought less sultry
temperature outside.
At least one reporter narrowly watched
the affair in the expectation that some
corpses would be produced as evidence
of the good faith of the participants, but
in this he was disappointed, for friends Of
the parties got them quietly separated
and finally slowed safely away in two
different coaches in the westbound train

Beside each plate stands a large calabash
of poi. the piece de resistance of every na-
tive rcpast. 1t is made from the root Of
the taro-an e~sculent of the Aurum fam
ily-which is ground into flour, beaten
into dough with stone pestles, mixed
with water and allowed to ferment. 1t
is of a faded lavender DIOR and looks
like bill posters paste-tastes like it, too,
when the bill poster has been careless
and allowed it to sour. There is a mild
flavor of moldiness about poi which is
much admired by natives, but which my
palate is too little educated to appreciate.
1t is made in three forms, which vary
only in consistency and are expressly
described as zone finger" 1.-TWO finger"
and three finger" poi. The zone fin
ger grade is the thickest, the ''three
finger" the thinnest. To eat the latter
and not smear ones self and ones neigh
bors Is to attain the height of trencher
ability in Hawaii. 1t may be un-
necessary to explain the mysteries
of poi eating any further-in the
present instance the honored adage that
"'fingers were made before forks is dis
regarded, and the latter artificial utensils
are employed. We make but little i'm

ton, seemed to relish it hugely. l was

worthy native dame near by, who put

from which it is made, will support a

food.-Honolalu Cor. New York Tribune.

OUT in this section of country 1t is
rather amusing to read such advice as the
following from the New York Times: IF
you are troubled with insomnia these sui
try nights Just turn the faucet of cold
water in your bathroom for a minute or
two upon your fleet and then thoroughly
dry them. Haul taut your mosquito bar,
let your head lie low, and, like the pious
country blacksmith in his new at church,
close your eyes and think of nothing.
The cold water drives the blood to the
head and produces Il soporiic effect. One
of the big Portuguese onions sliced and
nicely seasoned and eaten with thin bread,
in the form of sandwiches, would be good.
An ordinary United States onion will do
if the great big fellows are out OF the
market. Onions are full of opium. Let
business and all mental labor 20 out OF
your head. Keep the thoughts of matur-
ing notes, interest upon mortgages, the
good looking chap hat was attentive to
your best girl, and all such enemies tc
repose on the outside of your mosquito
netting"

We DO not believe the Sun will be sus-
tanned by the public in its statement that
''the dissatisfaction with the assessment
made by the county commissioners is
greater than was ever known before in the
county" There never was and never
will be an assessment made which will not
cause objection from some one. In some
cases injustice has been done, but VIC be-

many cases where it has been demonstrate

1t is unfortunate for the editor of the

missioners that he himself feels terribly
aggrieved about his own assessment. Had
he entered upon his crusade with the un-
selfish desire of doing good to the gem

appreciation. But he failed to hit the
